Chain Me
Asrai Lyrics

Change my life, seize me
Asrai is seeking a major change in her life

Change me, chain me
She is willing to be bound to this change, whatever it may be

Change my life, please me
She further expresses her desire for a change to improve her life

Change me, chain me
The only condition for this change is that she wants to be bound by it as it happens

A lonely beach in the distance far
Asrai describes her current situation, a feeling of being far away from where she wants to be

The building sites, the city lights
The surroundings she's in are a sharp contrast to her desires

Seeking her Atlantis
She is searching for something mythical and perfect, like the legendary lost city of Atlantis

Beneath a windy town
Despite the conflict between her desire and surroundings, she perseveres in her search

Lost in her fantasies
She is lost in her own world of dreams and desires

Drowning in her dream
This world has become overwhelming, to the point of feeling like she's drowning

The waves so wild
Her thoughts and emotions are turbulent like the crashing waves

Pounding patterns into white
These waves carve patterns into the white foam as they crash

Modern times descended
Despite the challenges, she sees an opportunity in the present time period to make things happen

The dream is taking flight
Her dream is finally beginning to take flight, despite the odds against it

Running from the beach, suspended are the lights
She's running away from the place where she doesn't belong, and the lights seem to be hovering

"What'll I find", she says, "In the ropes, death or life?"
She doesn't know what the future holds, but she's willing to take the risk of finding out

Returning to the folds, like her mother's dress
In times of confusion, she retreats to something familiar - like her mother's dress

She heads for the structure, for eventual re-birth
She's seeking out a transformative experience to be reborn into a new life

The water's black and the moon drifts by
She's in a place of darkness with only the moon as her guiding light

Orchestral nights perform their rites
She's in the middle of an elaborate and mystical experience

Sinking in Atlantis
She's finally achieving her dream of finding Atlantis, but it comes at a cost of sinking and submerging into the depths

They dance on their way down
Asrai and her newfound companions embrace their fate and make the most of their sinking

A figure slowly exiting from this crazy scene
Asrai notices someone leaving this same mystical experience, and it makes her question her own commitment to it

And Neptune smiles with his trident come to life
A higher power, in the form of the Roman god of the seas, seems to approve of her journey

He summons me to the sea
Neptune calls out to her to join him in the sea, possibly as part of her transformative experience

To be his liquid wife
She's willing to be bound to the sea and Neptune as part of her transformation

Standing on a bridge, I can see for miles
Asrai has come to a turning point where she can see far ahead of her

"Change my life", she says
She's repeating her earlier wish for major life changes

A cab drives by and she smiles
Despite the gravity of her situation, a small moment of joy and hope enters her life

Spinning round in the city light, she got up without a word
Despite the high stakes of her situation, she experiences a joyful and carefree moment

Turned around and disappeared into the night
She's ready for whatever comes next, and embraces the uncertainty of it all
